Wow would that be interesting. Pretty smart guy, wonder if he would stand a chance.
I think he would have a great chance. He is a brilliant guy
HOORAY Peter Thiel
All democrats have to run on now is being the first. First black. First Mexican. First transgender. First transracial. First gay lesbian.
Who will run against Thiel?
“The Governor shall be an elector who has been a citizen of the United States and a resident of this State for 5 years immediately preceding the Governors election.”
Darn, I assumed the Dems would be running an illegal immigrant. Well, there’s still time to change that xenophobic, racist, etc. clause!
man, what choices we have. I’ll take the pro-gun homo (thiel) over the homo gun grabber (newsome).
Jerry Brown is the posterboy for lifetime term limits.
Thiel has done some good of late, certainly in his support of Trump.
But isn’t he the guy who pulled Pay-Pal out of North Carolina because the sick queers want to pee with little girls, etc. etc....?
Hmmm.
He is homosexual.
That helps him in CA.
We would send him money. We are strongly against homosexual behavior, but my wife and I greatly appreciate his stance and backing of Trump.
I live in OC socal. Jerry Brown has plagued us since the 70s. He’s spending billions on a bullet train to nowhere and thinks if we FUp our states economy bad enough the oceans will recede and “mother earth” will begin to cool. Such a tool. The only thing he hasn’t ruined is the weather, no insects, low humidity, sunshine etc.
I sure hope he does. California is a Republican wasteland. There isn’t one Republican with statewide name recognition.
The choice is very simple...Peter Thiel may be gay, but he has hugely supported Trump and he himself has been a very successful businessman. It is time to ignore the sexual preference of politicians, as long as their sexual preference do not influence their ability to do the job honorably and in line with traditional principals. They are separable, and if he can do that, so be it...support him as long as he keeps his private life private.
As a Californian he would get my vote. Sadly my commie, fascist, totalitarian state made up on mentally ill, comatose, extreme liberal zombies are just that and no longer (if they ever did) use their heads or hearts. We can only push for and exploit, and CREATE another variation of the Trump effect.
Genius. I can hear Trump now, “You know, Peter, you’d make a great governor...”
I’d vote for him.
He showed me that he cares about the average citizen. He talked about so many of our factories shutting down.
He’s a big-picture guy. He’s not just a petty one issue guy. The big picture is a robust economy, security, and freedom.
For years we heard "why aren't our best and brightest running" bla bla bla ( especially from the DNC ). And then they asked Lee Iococca to run, he looked at it and said, it is too broke, I can't fix it.
So finally in DJT we had someone with that type of background, and not some slip and fall atty hack up through the ranks ( the Schumer's of the world ) that haven't been in the belly of the beast their whole life playing us with their 3 card monty, and that goes for both sides of the Uni-Party.
So with that said, does anyone see what DJT has done here?
He has opened the door for leaders from the private sector with a can do CEO mind set of goals, objectives, & Metrics that determine success or failure, not a never ending project ( at the state and federal level ) that would make the F-35 look like a simple washer fix on your faucet.
D.C. IMHO has no idea as to the internal self examination exercises coming their way, aka Demming, Six Sigma etc.
Mr Thiel is probably one of many that are tired of seeing Lansing, Boston, Sacramento ( and other state houses ) run like a Soviet Union breadline.
The Legislature in CA will at somepoint have to pull a cranal-rectal-otomy as I don't see Thiel as a shrinking violet, fix it dang it or the voters will toss ya, that paradigm is coming, once people see tangible results from DJT and Company.
What’s his 2A position?
